SUMMARY:Herbal Intensive 2019
DESCRIPTION:Plants and humans have always had a close relation
ship. Generations upon generations of humans have
relied on the plant world for food\, medicine\, sh
elter\, and much more. \n \n It is only recently t
hat humans have grown separated from the landbase
and from the natural world. We have forgotten what
the plant world has to teach and to offer us. Luc
kily the plants are all around us\, just waiting t
o be discovered again. This Herbal Intensive cours
e is an invitation to do just that. It is an invit
ation to re-enter the world of plants and their me
dicinal uses\, to regain the knowledge that was on
ce shared by everyone and hopefully one day will b
e again.&nbsp\;\n \n During the course of this int
ensive\, participants will spend one weekend each
month to learn&nbsp\;a hands on approach to herbal
ism. With a focus on doing and creating\, students
will participate in all aspects of plant use and
medicine making\, including gardening and growing
the plants we will be using\, foraging for wild va
rieties\, understanding the body systems and plant
families and how they interact\, plant preparatio
n\, medicine making and medicine application. \n \
n Students can expect some light homework assignme
nts and discussion via email in between scheduled
class weekends. Students should come to class read
y to participate in all aspects of plant propagati
